Franco Escamilla.- "Veracruz", "Xalapa", "Sinaloa" "El peor corrido" - Summary

Summary

The speaker talks about visiting the port of Veracruz, where he went to the aquarium and saw manatees, sharks, and other animals. He also mentions visiting Xalapa, where he comments on the city's hilly terrain and winding streets.

The speaker then switches to talking about his comedy tour, where he visited various cities in Mexico, including Mazatlán, Culiacán, and Reynosa. He shares anecdotes about his experiences, including meeting a captain who took him on a yacht ride, trying marlin tacos, and encountering a group of people who were impressed by a woman's physical appearance.

The speaker also talks about being stopped by the military in Reynosa and being searched, but ultimately being cleared to continue on their way. He shares a story about taking a photo with a woman who had a physically impressive appearance, and how the people around her were impressed by her.

The speaker concludes by talking about how he is not ashamed to accept that he is an "ass" and that he will never be the subject of a corrido (a type of Mexican song) because corridos are typically about brave and heroic people, not people like him.
